Cup final day and you're gonna miss it? I'm sorry, but as a representative of Americans following football on here you're letting your country down, you're letting your team down and worst of all you're letting yourself down.

Come on now.

german cup ended with wolfsburg flipping the tortilla to win 3-1

it was heartbreaking

the dortund fans were burning flares, it looked amazing

poor dortmund-- they barely made it to a "qualifying round" of the europa league-- not the group stage-- meanig a longer season.

well now klopp can go to liverpool or napoli or wherever

Not sure it's just a dream. This is too big for Blatter to wriggle out of. There'll be plenty of those who've been arrested that'll talk to avoid jail and the golden name to drop is Blatter's. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up in jail for this, and certainly can't see any way he'll be able to continue as FIFA president for much longer. His getting re-elected hasn't made him stronger but only made his position seem all the more absurd.

The FA Cup ended just too one-sided to really be interesting. Arsenal were great but Villa didn't really put up much opposition.

Happy with the result, not cos I'm an Arsenal fan but cos I don't like Sherwood. If Villa had won his ego would've defied gravity.

I have a bad habit of liking/disliking teams based on what I think of their manager. That could be a nightmare if Spurs ever got Bielsa, or Klopp.

As for now, I increasingly think Klopp's either having a season out and just seeing how things pan out, or going to Napoli. I think Liverpool are gonna stick with Rodgers for another season, at least.

Wa-hey!!!

The thing I've always thought about FIFA is it's not hard to run. All it really needs to do is decide the location of a World Cup every four years and oversee occasional rule changes. Sepp fucked it up by turning it into a quasi-political force designed primarily to ensure his ongoing reign. Easiest way to nip that in the bud for any future wannabe dictator is to limit the term of presidency and end the policy of 1 country 1 vote.

I just hope whoever succeeds him isn't a 'politician' but a real football person, only interested in the good of the game. It probably won't be but, whoever it is, so long as measures are put in place to limit their power it's a massive step forward.

hell no. they sit on mountains of money. they set up championships all-over. they decide waht is a country and what is not. transfer policies. financial rules. on & on. they are bigger than the UN i reckon.

They are but they needn't be. Admittedly it involves more than what I said but far less than it got involved with under Blatter.

To a degree, but if you limited the term of presidency you'd do a lot to discourage it.

I'm not talking about moral superiority but if the big European countries feel that FIFA's only interested in using them as a cash cow, then they'll be tempted to break away and do their own thing. The reality is FIFA needs European football far more than European football needs FIFA.

Tend to agree but, again, limiting the term of presidency will only help.

^^ oh yeah, i totally agree with term limits. sorry i forgot to mention that.

same thing should be with national federations-- where many corrupt leaders use the same system of patronage with small clubs as blatter has used with small countries to retain their grip on power.

as for uefa--yes, they have the greatest financial power, but if they were to dominate fifa then chances are they'd only use it to... ensure their ongoing reign! i really don't know what to suggest here. seems like it's fucked in any direction.

I don't necessarily disagree about the votes-per-World Cup qualifiers idea, or something along those lines, anyway.

I don't pretend to have the answers to all this. Any institution that governs something as huge financially as football will invite corruption, so It'd be naive to think it can ever be gotten rid of entirely. I do think, though, that a few common sense changes at the level of infrastructure would help prevent it from thriving in the way that it did under Blatter.

im more curious about who'll be filling in for him @ napoli

o wait! he's taking a break after all

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32963594

he can now go live in brooklyn and call pep's weed dealer, come up with a new take on the 4-2-4

but yeah, i feel bale might have been wasted this past year-- if you'd care to explain how, it would be great
